What is Deep Learning?

Deep learning is a subfield of Machine Learning (ML) that uses multi-layer artificial neural networks to automatically learn hierarchical data representations for tasks such as classification, prediction, and generation. Expanded Explanation 1. Technical Function and Core Characteristics Deep learning uses neural networks with multiple hidden layers to approximate complex functions that map inputs to outputs. Each layer extracts progressively higher-level features from raw data such as text,

Counted facts

A dictionary definition doesn't say how often a term is actually used. This counts it across the graph -- articles that mention it, open source projects tagged with it, and the organizations tagged with it, listed here alongside the count. A term has no peer companies, and nothing here claims otherwise.
